In the ever-evolving landscape of electric vehicles, Tesla has consistently been a name synonymous with innovation and pushing the boundaries. However, a recent development regarding the Tesla Cybertruck, an electric pickup truck boasting a promised range of up to 500 miles, has sparked a mix of curiosity and concern among enthusiasts and potential customers. A leaked video showcasing a walk-around of the Cybertruck has inadvertently revealed what appears to be a less-than-expected range for the much-anticipated vehicle.

Initially, Tesla touted the Cybertruck to offer an impressive range of up to 500 miles, setting high expectations in the electric vehicle market. This claim, along with its futuristic design and rugged capabilities, generated significant excitement among potential buyers. However, the recent video, which includes a glimpse of the Cybertruck’s interior and its state of charge, suggests a different story.

As per the video, the Cybertruck’s battery was at 71%, and the route planner indicated an estimated 65% battery remaining after completing a 16-mile trip. This information led to some quick calculations by internet sleuths, who deduced that the Cybertruck might deliver approximately 2.67 miles per 1% of battery used. Extrapolating this data, the total range of the Cybertruck could be around 267 miles, a figure significantly lower than the initially promised 500 miles.

It’s crucial, however, to approach these findings with a degree of caution. Firstly, the trip shown in the video was relatively short and seemed to be primarily on the highway, where consumption is typically higher than in mixed driving conditions. Secondly, the vehicle in the video is a prototype, and Tesla is known for its ongoing refinements in software, motor characteristics, and battery readouts during the development phase. Therefore, the range displayed in the prototype might not be reflective of the final product.

Another possibility is that Tesla has intentionally software-locked the range on this prototype for testing purposes. If this is the case, the actual range of the production version of the Cybertruck could be closer to the initially stated figures. However, if the leaked range is accurate, it falls short of the 350–500 miles range that Tesla and analysts have been projecting, which could be a point of concern for potential buyers and enthusiasts who have high expectations from Tesla’s innovative products.

The revelation of this information, especially just before a major event, has led to some controversy. Tesla reportedly revoked invites to the Cybertruck event for those who posted the video, indicating the sensitivity of such leaks.

In conclusion, while the leaked video of the Tesla Cybertruck suggests a range that might be considered mediocre compared to initial promises, it is important to remember that this information comes from a prototype and may not accurately represent the final product. Tesla’s track record of innovation and improvement suggests that the final version of the Cybertruck could still meet or even exceed expectations. As with any developing technology, especially in the dynamic field of electric vehicles, the final judgment should be reserved until the official specifications are released.

It is worth noting that Tesla has not yet released the official specifications for the Cybertruck’s range. The company has stated that the range will vary depending on factors such as driving conditions, payload, and wheel configuration. However, the leaked video suggests that the range may be closer to 267 miles than the initially promised 500 miles. This could be a significant concern for potential buyers who are looking for a long-range electric pickup truck.
